Jambo the hairless Chimp walking upright towards the house. He climbs inside and balances on the rope and pulls some faces. For those who know him, we grew to love him. He’s the alpha male and makes sure his troop knows it, but also he can be quite the romantic chimpanzee with the females. In the next part of the video ( the older clip) Jambo shows he’s in charge, running after the other chimps, kicking doors and showing his rival Kibali who’s the boss. When he climbs back up he inspects his foot and a yawn shows off his teeth.
Please note, this is a video of old and new clips of Jambo.
The question on your mind is, why is Jambo hairless? People also call him the “naked chimp”. Some people think they shaved him or that he is ill. The truth is, the ape has alopecia, a medical term for hair loss and he had it since adolescence. He is now 37 years old and with his hair gone you can simply see how powerfully muscular he is. Being hairless hasn’t stopped him from anything, rather the opposite as he’s the alpha male and rules his habitat.
Jambo was born at the Twycross Zoo in England. He has alopecia, a form of hair loss he had since his youth. He was born on the 9th of June 1982. His daughter Genet, a brown chimp with a bald back and his mother Coco (1965)
are in the same habitat. Coco is the oldest animal at Twycross Zoo. Jambo’s siblings from his father’s side are Holly who was born on the 27th of December 1982 and Jomar was born on the 28th of December 1990 both are in the same habitat as Jambo. William his half brother was born on the 30th of June 1982 and Jambo’s first son Peter are in the next door enclosure.
Jambo started to lose his ear in November 2018, which the staff believes happened accidentally, it got ripped by his mum in a group fight. Twycross zoo tried to glue it back on with skin glue, but unfortunately, as time went past he picked on it so much that he lost all of it.
In 2018 The chimpanzees got their new “Chimpanzee Eden“ habitat. A 1,160sqm area with two seven-meter-high indoor spaces which are linked to a large outdoor area complete with huge climbing frames and huts.
